Spotlight on Staff: Jen Tong

We extend a very warm welcome to Jen, our new IT Analyst. Jen first joined us as an intern in August. She demonstrated an impeccable work ethic and impressed all who worked closely with her.

During her three months as an intern, she assisted with IT systems including MT Data and SharePoint. Jen also developed some excellent new IT solutions, including a new permit management system. The new system centralises the management of permits providing full visibility across the Company.

At Wettenhalls we are always looking for new ways to reduce our environmental footprint. We continue to invest in new fuel-efficient vehicles and more aerodynamic trailers as a part of our equipment program.

This year we have focused on our greening our warehouses and workshops which had metal halide lighting. We have moved to Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights in the Geelong depot, Brooklyn depot the Colac depot and the newly commissioned Colac Distribution Centre.
